This was a first step in getting the naturalist expeditionary kit going. Shoulder strap h had to be sewn, as well as a hole in the main compartment needed to be patched. Used Singer iron-on patches and patched both sides of the hole as there were two different materials (leather and some kind of meltable polyester). I've had this sack since middle school! Still going!!
We'll see how the sack holds up as both fixes seem tenuous, but my guess is that they will last a while if they are considered during usage.
Note: the domino thimble was essential in this repair and was not utilized until bloody thumb injury. In addition, the right shoulder strap was damaged by the melting of the iron. I thought the entire construction of the sack was cotton, but a heavy dose of plastic was involved in its making.
